A heavy, rounded sans with clean, continuous curves and flat terminals. Counters are generous and mostly circular/oval, producing an even, steady rhythm across words. The capitals read broad and stable, with simple construction and minimal modulation, while the lowercase combines single-storey forms (notably the a and g) with compact joins and smooth shoulders. Numerals match the same robust, rounded logic, with an especially circular 0/8/9 and a straightforward, sturdy 1.
Best suited to display settings where impact and clarity are needed: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and high-visibility signage. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts when a strong, friendly voice is desired, though its heavy presence will dominate in long passages.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, leaning friendly rather than technical due to the soft curves and open counters. Its weight and width give it a direct, headline-ready presence that feels straightforward and approachable.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, dependable sans-serif voice with geometric clarity and softened shapes, prioritizing legibility at larger sizes and a consistent, modern texture in blocks of text.
The design keeps details deliberately minimal, favoring clear silhouettes over sharp angles; diagonal letters (like K, V, W, X, Y) stay crisp but softened by the overall rounded impression. The g shows a distinctive single-storey structure with a pronounced ear, adding a subtle character note without breaking the otherwise neutral system.
